Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Buick LaCrosse and 2007 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ignition switch.
- Test for 11.8-12.2 volts between the 12-volt reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
- Test for 11.8-12.2 volts between the 12-volt reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage.
- Connect the harness connector at the ignition switch.
- Disconnect the harness connector C1 at the BCM.
- Install a jumper wire between the 12-volt reference circuit terminal 25 and the 12-volt reference circuit terminal in the BCM.
- With the ignition in the OFF position, test for 0 volts at the following circuit terminals:
- Ignition 1 circuit terminal 22
- Ignition 3 circuit terminal 23
- Crank voltage circuit terminal 21
- If greater than 0 volts, test the applicable circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the ignition switch.
- With the ignition in the ACCY position, test for 11.8-12.2 volts at the ignition 3 circuit terminal 23.
- If less than the specified range, test the ignition 3 circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the ignition switch.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ignition 3 circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ignition switch.
- With the ignition in the RUN position, test for 11.8-12.2 volts at the follow circuit terminals:
- Ignition 1 circuit terminal 22
- Ignition 3 circuit terminal 23
- If less than the specified range, test the applicable circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the ignition switch.
- If greater than the specified range, test the applicable circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ignition switch.
- With the ignition in the CRANK position, test for 11.8-12.2 volts at the crank voltage circuit terminal 21.
- If less than the specified range, test the crank voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the ignition switch.
- If greater than the specified range, test the crank voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the ignition switch.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the BCM.
